As a tenant you must:

Tell hoamz to rent as soon as possible about any damage or anything that needs to be fixed

Repair any damage you or your visitors cause on purpose or by being careless

Make sure there are no more people living in the property that the tenancy agreement states

Use the property only for the specified purpose

Let the landlord show prospective tenants, buyers or valuers through the property at times and in a way that suits that landlord and tenant

Leave at the end of the tenancy and:

Take away all your belongings

Take away your rubbish/recycling

Leave the property reasonably clean and tidy

Give back all keys, access cards, garage door openers and other ways of getting in

Leave everything the landlord owns

Tenancy Types

There are two main types of tenancy. They are a periodic tenancy and a fixed-term tenancy.

Periodic tenancy

A periodic tenancy lasts until either the tenant gives the required notice that they want to leave or the landlord gives the required notice for the tenants to leave

Fixed-term tenancy

A fixed-term tenancy finishes on a date that is written in the tenancy agreement. The landlord can't give the tenant notice to quit before then. The tenant can't give notice to leave before that date either.

Bond

A bond is money the tenant pays at the start of the tenancy to cover anything they owe at the end. We ask for the equivalent of 4 weeks rent. The bond is legally required to be lodged with the Department of Building and Housing. Hoamz to rent can claim from the bond on behalf of the owner any money owing at the end of the tenancy, for example unpaid rent or property damage.
